FUN runners arrived in their droves to cross the start line at this year's Haughley Park fun run in aid of St Elizabeth Hospice.

Around 150 adults and children put their best feet forward and helped raise thousands of pounds on Sunday.

Runners chose to take on a four or eight kilometre course which stretched through picturesque Stowmarket woods, fields and parkland, while children under 12 raced around a 1km circuit.

Laura Backhouse, hospice community fundraiser, said: β€œIt was a great day and we are so grateful to all the runners and everyone who supported the event.”
